I hope this year has been going well for you so far, or at least, better than it has been for Simon & Simon, P.C. Simon & Simon, P.C. is the fourth firm to take a hit from Medicare, and they won’t be the last.
After getting nailed for failing to resolve their clients’ Medicare Conditional Payments, Simon & Simon, P.C. settled with the DOJ for $6,604.59 and a whole host of other conditions.
Folks, I can’t stress the risks of unresolved Medicare Conditional Payments enough.
CMS is making their message clear. They are looking for lawyers who aren’t protecting the Medicare Public Trust Fund and making examples out of them. I encourage you to learn more about this case in the video below, and shoot me an email with any questions that come out of it.
Within the press release that I reference above is one very important quote from United States Attorney William M. McSwain. In fact, it’s one that every trial attorney serving injury victims needs to be aware of.
Here is a link to that DOJ Press release so you can read it for yourself: https://www.justice.gov/usao-edpa/pr/philadelphia-based-personal-injury-law-firm-agrees-resolve-allegations-unpaid-medicare

The Plaintiff’s MSA & Lien Solution
We believe in starting our lien negotiations with the attitude that the lien holders are owed nothing. When that isn’t possible, we look for the option that leaves the claimant with the most money. In this case, helping the attorney achieve a dramatic reduction of 90% on a Medicaid lien, creating over $80,000 in savings for the claimant.
How did we do it?
The Claimant: A man from Alaska was shot 3 times, one damaging his spinal cord.
The Injuries: Sustained partial paralysis.
The Problem? This client’s net settlement didn’t leave him with enough money to pay the liens. He had a $110k medical bill to Medicaid that he couldn’t pay.
Here’s what happened in 60 seconds:

The best plaintiff’s MSA, is no MSA. We actually sell Medicare Set-Aside avoidance.
Two common questions asked during settlements are: “Is a Medicare Set-Aside Mandatory?” and “How Can I Avoid an MSA?“
The answers?
No, they are not mandatory.
…and…
We have a few ways where most of our clients can avoid an MSA altogether.
We’re different from all of our competitors because WE SELL Medicare Set-Aside avoidance.
Based on our records, two-thirds of plaintiffs can avoid an MSA. They can do it compliantly, without jeopardizing their future Medicare benefits, and without creating a long-tail liability for their trial lawyer.
I’ll stress it again. That’s what we sell at PMLS. MSA avoidance.
I can’t stress this enough because we truly want you and your client to avoid an MSA if possible. If it’s not possible in your case, we’ll reduce your client’s MSA to the lowest rock-bottom amount that is reasonable and defensible.
To help you get started, I want to give you our “Insider’s Guide to Avoiding MSAs” free of charge. You can get that by clicking the link right here right now: CLICK FOR FREE GUIDE

The Plaintiff’s MSA & Lien Solution
New Year, New Resolutions. At PMLS, for 2020, our resolution is to become the GO-TO resource for Trial Lawyers nationwide for all types of liens and all things involving Plaintiff Medicare Secondary Payer compliance. We also want to continue to be the leader in providing MSA AVOIDANCE and/or dramatic funding reductions.
Medicare Conditional Payments occur when Medicare pays for services related to your client’s injuries or conditions that are the subject of the settlement. Medicaid, ERISA Plans, the VA and TriCare, all of these lienholders want to be repaid.
Often, these lien paybacks take a HUGE bite out of what your client ultimately receives. Possibly even the entire amount.
For more information see this Jack Meligan video below –
At The PLAINTIFF’S MSA & LIEN SOLUTION, “ZERO IS THE HERO” is an innovative approach and proprietary tactic we have introduced to the plaintiff’s bar.
We also have copped an attitude. That attitude is, “the lienholders aren’t owed anything.”
At PMLS our battle cry is “Financial Justice For Injury Victims” and we know all too well that when a lienholder presents a demand asking for a certain amount, it is highly likely that they are not actually (or legally) owed that much, or anything at all, and we work to protect and secure as much of your client’s settlement as possible. In fact, because of our unique contingent fee schedule, we are hyper-incentivized to deliver SPECTACULAR RESULTS.
